Use mindful origami everyday with these 35 projects designed to destress, calm, and help you live in the moment.

Origami, the ancient Japanese art of paper folding, is renowned for its therapeutic benefits, and now Mari Ono, an expert in Japanese papercrafts, shares how the simple act of folding paper can have profound effects on your well-being. This collection of 35 origami projects not only teaches you how to create beautiful flowers, animals, objects, and more, but also helps reduce stress, improve concentration, and overcome negative emotions.

By focusing on the calming process of origami, you’ll find a path to greater mindfulness, awareness, and a sense of connectedness. Each fold and model you complete brings feelings of joy and satisfaction, contributing to emotional balance and inner peace. The creative experience of origami has been shown to promote both physical and emotional health, providing a meditative outlet for everyday stresses.

What makes origami especially appealing is its simplicity and accessibility. It’s a perfect tool for those wanting to begin a mindful lifestyle, requiring no expensive materials—just paper and your hands. Plus, with over 60 pieces of origami paper provided, including colorable sheets, you can engage in the calming practice of coloring, which has been proven to induce relaxation as well. Origami is not only an art form but a holistic practice that can be done anywhere, anytime, offering both a creative and therapeutic escape from the demands of daily life.
